Research Presentations Show the Wide Range of Ways
Humans Benefit from Pets
10th International Conference on Human-Animal Interactions
Held in Glasgow, Scotland
U.K. host country demonstrates advanced understanding of animal welfare among European nations of animal welfare
The 10th International Conference on Human-Animal Interactions was held from October 7 through 9 in Glasgow, Scotland, providing researchers with an opportunity to present the latest findings on the wide range of beneficial health effects derived from pets. Hosting the event was the International Association of Human-Animal Interaction Organizations (IAHAIO), an international organization formed by numerous national associations and other organizations with a common interest in the study of human-animal interactions.
Titled "People and Animals: A Timeless Relationship", this year's triennial event occupied three meeting venues and included eight plenary addresses. A total of 57 oral research presentations and workshops were given, having been selected from numerous entries. Attendees included nearly 460 participants from approximately 30 countries, comprising researchers, veterinarians, medical practitioners, educators, and animal welfare specialists. The exhibit space included 79 poster presentations of research findings, and participants voted to determine the recipient of a "Best Poster" award. A "Children's Pets" art competition for local children around Glasgow was also held, with the top prize going to Yasuko Sato, a 17-year-old Japanese exchange student.
The research presentations tended to focus in academic and scientific ways on a wide range of scholarly findings in fields such as the benefits derived from human-animal relationships, particularly by children and the elderly. In her plenary presentation titled "Human-Animal Interactions and Health," Dr. Cindy Wilson of the United States spoke on methodological research issues and potential solutions, as did Dr. Lynette Hart of the University of California, Davis, in her presentation, "Community Context Affects the Impact of Pets on People." Both speakers gave useful recommendations and illustrative examples of methods for more effectively and scientifically presenting research results, heightening expectations for future research.
Pets and the elderly, pets and children: More new evidence of benefits from interaction with animals
The presentations included findings in a number of areas, such as the human health effects of pet keeping, managing the environments in which pets are kept, the role of pets in education, pets in the community, and service animals. "Progress is being made in the physiological measurement of the beneficial effects that animals can have on people through interactions like animal-assisted activity and therapy," said Dr. Yoshie Kakuma, a lecturer at the Department of Animal Science, Teikyo University of Science and Technology. "We saw numerous examples of research approaches that provide medical explanations concretely and in detail."
The following are summaries of some of the outstanding research results presented at the conference.
The effects of animal-assisted therapy on Alzheimer's patients
Debra Buttram of the Italian service dog group AIUCA reported on animal-assisted therapy carried out at a facility specializing in treatment for patients with Alzheimer's disease within an Italian nursing home for the elderly. Residents were allowed to freely participate in twice-weekly 90-minute interaction sessions with dogs, with activities including walking, watering, and brushing. "Attention spans among participants were extended and relations between patients improved markedly, and we also saw a reduction in their problem behavior," she reported. These changes were noted when the dog was present even if not directly interacting with the patient.
School attendance rates are higher among children with pets
Meanwhile, Dr. June McNicolas, a health psychologist of the Department of Psychology at Britain's University of Warwick, reported on her study of beneficial effects of pet ownership on child immune function by investigating salivary immunoglobulin A and school attendance. This work produced intriguing results on the relationship between pets and children's health. (Immunoglobulin A levels reflect a subject's health by indicating resistance to viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.) The study of 256 students aged 5-11 at three schools in England revealed that children of households in which pets were being raised were absent from school due to illness far less often than others. This trend was particularly prominent among children aged 5-7. Compared to children from households without pets, preschoolers with pets attended 18% more frequently, while first-year students with pets attended 13% more frequently. Thus, the children from households with pets attended school a total of about three weeks more per year than those without pets. Dr. McNicolas also confirmed that the children with pets tended to have more stable levels of immunoglobulin A. "Recent research has already made it clear that interaction with animals has a marked positive effect on health by, for instance, reducing the future risk of problems such as allergies and asthma," Dr. McNicolas said. "But what was so surprising about this study was the finding that children from households with pets have such better school attendance rates compared to children without pets."
The economic benefits of keeping pets: Calculating human healthcare costs
Associate Prof. Bruce Headey of Australia's University of Melbourne and his team compiled a major study of large-scale German, Australian, and Chinese research projects on the link between pet ownership and human health. Headey reported his finding that people living with pets visited medical institutions 15% to 20% less per year than did subjects without pets. Preliminary calculations of medical cost reductions were 754.7 billion yen in Germany and 308.8 billion yen in Australia. Thus, the economic benefits of pet ownership are coming to the fore as we confront the aging of society. The Chinese study looked into the state of affairs regarding pets in the rapidly changing environment of modern Chinese society. It comprised research into the health benefits of pet ownership among empty nesters.
Toward a better environment of coexistence, from improvements in the pet breeding industry to lifelong care for elderly pets
The United States is an advanced country with respect to the pet industry, with much progress being made in areas ranging from improving the environments in which pets are bred to lifelong care for animals. Other conference presentations introduced ways in which issues of aging among both humans and companion animals are being coped with, as well as administrative programs aimed at bringing about improvements in the commercial pet industry.
Shelters for aging pets: A need that is expected to grow
One consideration that occurs to an elderly pet owner is the thought that "If I should go first, then what will happen to my pet?" Elizabeth Clancy of the Bide-A-Wee Home Association in New York reported on facilities that assume care for pets orphaned in such circumstances. According to her report, a facility was established in New York six years ago that will agree to provide lifelong care for elderly pets when their owners die or are incapacitated by severe illness. The facility includes an interior that models a home environment, indoor and outdoor exercise areas, and a full-time staff. Admittance requirements include that the pet must be 8 years or older, and must be free of zoonotic diseases. The facility also gives priority to pets that have difficulty being placed in ordinary animal shelters. Approximately 1.08 million yen must be paid in advance for lifetime care costs at the facility, which has admitted 33 cats and 26 dogs to date. The need for such facilities in Japan is considered likely to increase in the future.
Introducing educational programs to improve the quality of the commercial pet industry
Betty Goldentyre, an Animal Welfare Act (AWA) inspector in the Animal Care Unit within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), developed the Canine Care Program operated by the U.S. government in 2001. In cooperation with local veterinary hospitals, the program holds workshops for the commercial pet industry to convey knowledge and information regarding proper canine care. Its activities have a particular concentration in states such as Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, which have an especially high density of commercial puppy breeding companies. Participants are issued a certificate intended to boost demand for the program. This certification program serves as a standard for consumers purchasing pets.
The influence of pets on troubled youngsters manifested in diverse ways
Numerous beneficial effects--both psychological and physical--of raising pets have been documented, and a number of programs were presented at the conference that hold promise of such benefits for troubled youth. Among drug-addicted homeless youths, children in correctional institutions, and those who have dropped out of school, caring for pets and participating in dog training have been shown to help eliminate recidivism and assist youngsters in once again returning to society as productive citizens. Domestic violence (DV) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have become significant social issues in Japan in recent years, and it appears that pets have a beneficial effect on people suffering from these problems as well. The winner of the award for the best poster session presentation provides a good example.
Dogs help abused children open up (Best Poster Award)
It is, of course, essential that the abuse of a child be investigated as should any other crime. To children who have lived through such suffering, however, it can be extremely difficult to describe the experience to an investigator who is a total stranger to them. It is for this reason that Nelly Creten, a Belgian Federal Police investigator of violent crimes, began conducting animal-assisted interviews with children in 1995 with the help of two female Labradors. In the subsequent five years, she conducted investigations with 100 children (an average of two to three per week) of ages 3-14, and the animal mediation technique was used with 80% of the subjects. The presence of dogs who seem to ask through their behavior to be petted on the head reduced fear and aggression on the part of the children, contributing to the creation of an environment in which they could more easily speak freely.
Research utilizing the special abilities of animals is also drawing attention
The most well-known roles for dogs in helping humans are those of guide dogs for the blind, for the hearing impaired, and other service roles. One presentation at the conference showed research findings on how the acute canine sense of smell can be used to assist in the early detection of bladder cancer.
Canine olfactory detection of human bladder cancer
A group formed by members of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Amersham Hospital staff members in Britain's Buckinghamshire exposed six dogs that had undergone clicker training to the odor of human urine in order to determine their ability to detect transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The results showed that the dogs succeeded in detecting the cancer by smell 41% of the time, a significant improvement over the expected random detection rate of 14.3%. Detection success rates varied among individual dogs, with five of six dogs demonstrating an ability to distinguish between cancerous and cancer-free samples. Although the method is not currently practical, the potential for its application in detecting other cancers after further improvement is much anticipated.
Six researchers from Japan present findings
This year's conference included 136 of the most excellent presentations selected from among more than 230 entries. Six of the successful entries were by researchers from Japan.
Among those giving oral presentations was Dr. Akimitsu Yokoyama of the National Defense Medical College, who is actively pursuing progress in the field of animal-assisted therapy. In an experiment designed to determine whether robots can assist in animal-mediated therapy, Dr. Yokoyama conducted an international comparison of the reactions of children to the Aibo robotic dog.
Of the five poster session presenters from Japan, three were recipients of the CAIRC research scholarship. This was especially gratifying for CAIRC as we move ahead with efforts to support such researchers. A research team headed by Dr. Yukihide Momozawa from the Laboratory of Veterinary Ethology, the University of Tokyo, which received the second annual CAIRC scholarship, presented their project, "Evaluation of Behavioral Traits in Japanese Indigenous Shiba Dogs in Combination with Polymorphic Analyses of Neurotransmitter-Associated Genes." The presentation called for a heightened awareness of the need for individualized methods of raising and training dogs. This awareness is informed by the genetic background that finds its expression in the traits that make individual dogs distinct.
A fellow recipient of the second annual scholarship, Noriko Niijima of Dept. of Sociology, the University of Tokyo, gave a presentation titled "Why is recovery from pet loss so difficult?: A sociological case study in Japan using the concept of 'reality disjuncture.'" This project demonstrated how a lack of understanding among others is a major cause of the severe difficulties involved in pet loss. Dr. Nobuyo Ohtani of the New Institute of Animal Science, also a recipient of the 6th annual scholarship, presented his findings on "A Neurochemical Approach for Dog Training-Especially for Problem Behaviors." Dr. Ohtani spoke of the utility of neurological science in helping to establish the most effective training methods for domestic dogs and earlier determination of assistance dogs' capabilities.
Associate Prof. Kazuko Hara, Department of Occupational Therapy, Nagoya University of Health Sciences, presented "Influence of Service Dogs on Re-construction of Recipient's Capacities." Meanwhile, Akihiro Matsuura of the Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, gave a presentation on "Analysis of Rhythmical Movements of Both Horse and Rider Using Accelerometer."
As these entries show, the contents of presentations by Japanese researchers have also become more diverse. Deeper interaction with their counterparts overseas was also observed at the conference. "I was able to exchange views with others in a range of fields such as psychology and veterinary science, not just sociology," said Niijima. "Having agreed to exchange reference materials and ideas for joint research plans, this has given us an excellent opportunity to develop future research potential."
Tokyo Chosen as the Site of the Next Conference in 2007!
The first of the conferences to be held in Asia spurs high hopes for research in the field
The closing ceremony included an announcement that is especially gratifying for those of us involved in the development of the study of human-animal interactions in Japan. It has been decided that the 11th triennial conference, scheduled for 2007, will be held in Tokyo. The event will be held jointly by the Japanese Animal Hospital Association (JAHA) and the Society for the Study of Human-Animal Relations (HARS), Japan's national IAHAIO members. Affiliate members the Companion Animal Information and Research Center (CAIRC), the Japanese Service Dog Resource Academy (JSDRA), and Hill's-Colgate (Japan) Ltd. will also join forces to help ensure the success of the conference.
"CAIRC was established in 1997, and it was then that the study of human-animal relationships began to gradually come to the fore in Japan," said Yoichi Shoda, CAIRC chairman and Tokyo University professor emeritus. "The IAHAIO international conference will be held in Tokyo in the tenth year since then. I feel great pride in the fact that the activities and track records of researchers in Japan have thus gained recognition. At the same time, I sincerely hope that as the first such international convention to be held in Asia, this event will help further advance the development of human-animal relationships not only in Japan, but in the entire Asian region as well."
The IAHAIO international conference is not just for researchers. Anyone with an interest in human-animal interaction may participate. We believe that it will provide an excellent opportunity to observe the latest research from all over the world in this field.

National Employment Policy this year
What is in News?
The Centre will frame a new sector-wise National Employment Policy in this financial year even as it grapples with low employment generation
New National Employment Policy will be out in the next five-six months after holding consultations with various ministries, including micro, small and medium enterprises, heavy industries, electronics and information technology, health, education, textiles and more importantly, commerce
Thrust areas:
Policy's thrust would be to ensure a transition from informal to formal jobs takes place in the country
Jobs have come down temporarily. Employment is falling on a global level but in India, it has been marginal
Job creation is taking place in the informal sector, which needs to be brought into the formal fold
Need for this policy:
The pace of job creation fell to a six-year low in 2015 with 1.35 lakh new jobs being created compared with 4.21 lakh new jobs in 2014 and 4.19 lakh in 2013, according to a quarterly survey of industries conducted by Labour Bureau
Another survey – Fifth Annual Employment-Unemployment Survey – of households conducted by Labour Bureau showed unemployment rate rising to a five-year high of 5% in 2015-16 compared with 4.9% in 2013-14 and 4.7% in 2012-13
Reasons Behind Fall in Employment:
The Labour and Employment minister blamed the recent job cuts in the IT sector to U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order issued last month to review the H1-B visa program, which aims at tightening visa norms for skilled workers and technology shifts
Secondly, the whole industry is going ahead with automation as a result of which the manpower requirement is going down
Facing the reality:
Executive search firm Head Hunters India said in a report on May 14 that IT sector will go for 1.75 lakh-2 lakh annual job cuts in the next three years due to "under-preparedness in adapting to new technologies."
Companies are going ahead with automation and job shifts are happening
Nobody had imagined this sea change which should have been thought of ten years back
There should have been a vision. For instance, what will happen to the job market in 20 years? That vision was lacking and there was policy paralysis
About Labour Bureau:
The Labour Bureau is an attached office of Ministry of Labour & Employment
Labour Bureau is responsible for collection and publication of statistics and related information on wages, earnings, productivity, absenteeism, labour turnover, industrial relations, working and living conditions and evaluation of working of various labour enactments etc.
It is a storehouse of important economic indicators like Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial, Agricultural and Rural Labourers;
Wage rate indices and data on industrial relations, social economic conditions in the organized and unorganized sector of industry etc.

For those of you who were around then, you're nodding your heads. We believe that GroupWise is the strongest email package in the market. Those who don't feel the same are probably not using GroupWise to its potential. We'd love to show you how. If your system needs the care and blessing of a Guru, give us a call or email us and we can discuss your system.
Our home office is in California, but we have associates and engagements all over North America and the Carribean. Our company is managed by Matt Ray, a former Novell Consultant, PSE, and GroupWise author, and has supported hundreds of companies with GroupWise all over the world. We hope that you find our services match our name.

Summary: A conversation between Fred and Hermione begins with how sore one can be after a Quidditch match and end with a list of everything Fred has noticed about the brown-eyed girl. Companion story "An Author's Vision" is HP/Twilight. Edward enters an authors mind as this HP story is being written.
Post-Deathly Hallows. Forgive me a simple and quick story. That being said, I thought that the ending was very cute.
Thanks to my beta Johnathan, my friend John's knowledge of cricket and editing, and softball for causing the sore muscles that inspired this story. Also to Lisa, for letting me write on her kitchen table when I come to visit.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Things would have been different if I had.
The Things I've Noticed
"Ooooohhhhh," groaned the outline of a red-haired man.
Hermione raised her eyes from the score sheet—turned study material to check on the figure that had collapsed a few feet from her.
"Are you ready to try standing again, Fred?"
"I'm fine," replied the human-groan.
"Just let me get you the potion, Fred. Afterwards you'll be able to do things like walk, wave your arm, and pick up a cup of pumpkin juice."
"I just need a few more minutes." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Fred, the Quidditch match ended almost an hour ago. And besides, laying stationary in the grass is only going to stiffen your muscles and make the soreness worse. Let's go back to the house."
"Hermione, it hurts to breathe deeply." His chest rose and fell with a groan to emphasize his point.
Hermione gracefully covered her laugh with a cough.
She folded her score sheet/advanced charms review notes and walked over to him.
"Fred, the others went to the Burrow ages ago. I bet they've even left for Diagon Alley by now. Come back to the Burrow and I'll get you fixed up."
A rare breeze for the June afternoon stirred the grasses around them.
"Ah…ah…ahchoo," replied Fred.
Hermione reached a hand out to Fred. After taking a moment to wince, Fred slowly accepted her hand. Once he was standing, it seemed to Hermione that Fred held onto her hand a few seconds longer than necessary, but perhaps this was merely for balance.
"When I sneezed just then, even that hurt."
She no longer tried to hide her laughter. "Yes Fred, I'm sure it did."
"I really am pathetic right now, aren't I?"
Hermione chanced a sideways glance to his face and found a grin both on his lips and in his eyes. "You are in a sad and sorry state for a Quidditch player."
She wrapped a cautious arm around his waist and started moving him towards the house. After a few steps she felt an arm lightly fall on her shoulders. And after another step the fingers attached to that arm curled around her shoulder.
Before she could stop herself, Hermione unconsciously leaned into Fred's open arm. But, of course, the instant her body touched his, she nearly jumped trying to recover an inch or two between them. Fred's hand never moved.
A short sigh escaped Fred.
"Say, Hermione?"
"Hmm," was all the normally wordy girl could answer.
"Why do you suppose I'm so sore when my own twin walked away without a single moan. In fact, everyone but me was able to walk away."
Hermione opened the back door to the Burrow and sat Fred down on a cushy recliner.
"Well, Fred, when was the last time you played Quidditch?" She popped up the feet of the recliner so Fred could stretch his legs.
"Before Bill and Fleur's wedding, so nearly a year." He cocked his head. "Are you implying that I am out of shape?"
Hermione commanded her eyes not to sweep over Fred's physique at that moment. Though her eyes briefly shifted, she seemed to have won that battle.
"Not out of shape, just out of practice. To play Quidditch you have to use your whole body, especially as a beater. And George isn't sore because he was playing chaser for your team."
"Then why isn't Charlie sore? He was the beater for the other team."
Hermione's hands landed on her hips. "Charlie works with dragons, Fred. He had to stay in top shape all last year because of that."
A characteristic grin filled Fred's face. "I suppose dragon training is a good excuse for being pain-free."
"Good. Now, if you won't accept a potion to help you will you at least let me try some muggle options?
"I don't want any of that 'asprain' stuff Harry offered me once. I still don't see how you ever took pills." His face looked as though he'd just been asked to eat Ron's dirty socks.
"Okay, no pills for you." Hermione now gladly allowed herself to look Fred over with the excuse of a necessary examination. "That means the only question is: hot or cold?"
She smirked at his confused response. "What do you mean?"
"Simple," she replied. "Dad always said: ice for swelling and heat for muscle aches."
"Your Dad said that?" His eyebrows fully raised.
"Yes. So, are any of your joints starting to swell? Your knees look okay, so I think you're fine. That means we go straight to heat."
Fred leaned towards her. "Your Dad was sore often?"
"Yes, he used to play cricket all the time with his friends, and tennis sometimes too." Ah yes, babbling, always a good fall back for a new and possibly exciting situation. "And really, when you think about it, playing beater is a lot like a cross between cricket and tennis. Both sports are hard on the entire body, but especially the arms, shoulders and torso. Mum used to get the heating pad for Dad and he would lay in his recliner rotating it between his back and shoulders. Of course, he also took painkillers, but I think that even just the heat would help you some. Do you know a spell for heating an object, like a towel maybe? But it can't get too hot either. Maybe a mild Calidum would do the trick. What do you think?"
Hermione stopped to take a breath and Fred placed two fingers on her mouth to prevent the flood of words from starting again. Hermione's eyes grew large, staring at him with more than a little wonder.
After Fred's brain caught up with his ears, he replied, "I'm not sure what kind of sport you would play as a cricket and I don't know what the number ten has to do with anything, but I think that spell would work fine."
Hermione quickly heated a kitchen towel and placed it around Fred's shoulders. "How does that feel?"
"Wonderful. Thank you 'Mione."
As she sat on the couch, Hermione felt his eyes on her. She met them and found a new look of confidence accompanying his characteristic grin, as if Fred had made a decision.
"It seems like you enjoy taking care of people, or me at least," Fred announced.
"Well, I…" Hermione looked away and played with her shirt hem. "I'm surprised that you even noticed, Mr. Weasley."
"Well, my dear 'Mione, let me see if I can further astound you with my great powers of observation."
He moved to sit next to her on the couch, only wincing once.
"I have noticed that your eyes are the color of a melted chocolate chip inside a warm cookie."
Hermione's cheeks warmed, and she wondered just how visible this blush was.
The game continued.
"I would hope that the color of my eyes would be obvious to anyone."
Fred inched closer. "I have also noticed that in addition to being brilliant, you are also thoughtful, caring, brave, and overall fun—despite what others may think."
Hermione was now certain that her cheeks were actually radiating heat.
"Ron used to say something similar to that." Fred looked on dubiously. "Well, maybe not quite like that."
"I noticed that your eyes have been on me quite a lot lately and that you enjoyed having my arm around you."
Hermione's mouth opened and closed again.
"And I believe that if you give me a few more moments, I will have noticed that you enjoy kissing me."
And, of course, she did.
If you liked this story, I would really appreciate it if you checked out its companion piece "An Author's Vision". Thanks!

Well I have even more respect for Nickel Creek now: they're going to be singing during the seventh inning stretch at the Padre's (baseball) game on opening day. 🙂 One of my favorite bands singing for my favorite baseball player's team? Sweeeet.
The Braves will be playing on Monday against the Dodgers. Hopefully they'll get off to a better start this year than they did last, though I expect the division to be pretty close by the All-Star break. They just need the Mets and Phillies to under-perform and the Marlins to do as badly as everyone is expecting them to.
Oh, and happy belated birthday to Christopher Walken, who turned 63 on Friday.

Unless otherwise required by law or by these by-laws, issues shall be decided by a simple majority of votes cast except where one or more choices are to be made from several alternatives, in which case the alternative(s) receiving the most votes shall be considered approved.

Officers may be removed and replaced by the Board at any time whenever the best interests of the Co-op would thereby be served.

Article VII Capital Stock
Section 7.1 – Issuance. To evidence capital funds provided by owners, the Co-op shall issue common shares.

Such shares shall be issued only upon full payment of the stated value of the shares, as determined by the Board of Directors. Payment for shares shall not exceed three hundred dollars or such higher amount as may be permitted by ORS 59.025(11) or the corresponding provision of any subsequently enacted Oregon statute.?
Section 7.2 – Terms. Common shares shall be entitled to no dividend or other monetary return on investment. Such shares shall be nontransferable and may not be pledged as security for a debt. Shares shall be subject to assessment insofar as it may become necessary to increase the required capital investment of owners by reason of the current or prospective capital needs of the Co-op.
Section 7.3 – Certificates. Owners shall be entitled to receive certificates evidencing outstanding shares. All certificates shall be signed personally or by facsimile by a principal officer of the Co-op and shall be numbered and registered by the Co-op. Each certificate shall have printed upon it such information as is required by law. The Co-op may issue a replacement certificate for any common share alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed without requiring the giving of a bond or other security against related losses.
Section 7.4 – Upon termination of ownership, the common share of the owner shall be redeemed as soon as replacement capital has been secured by the Co-op from other owners. Common shares may also be redeemed under other compelling circumstances as determined by the Board. Shares shall be redeemable at the lesser of their carrying value on the books of the Co-op or their net book value. In the case of voluntary termination of ownership, a reasonable processing fee may be imposed, as determined by the Board. Reapplications for ownership after redemption shall be subject to full repayment of redemption proceeds and a reasonable reprocessing fee, if any, as determined by the Board.
Article VIII Patronage Refunds
Section 8.1 – Distribution of net savings. The realized net savings of the Co-op, to the extent attributable to the patronage of owners, shall be allocated and distributed among owners as patronage refunds in proportion to their patronage and in such a manner as to constitute patronage dividends within the meaning of federal income tax law. Such obligation shall apply only to fiscal years during all of which, or substantially all of which, the Co-op has in place a functioning system to electronically track the patronage of individual owners. In determining and allocating such adjusted net savings, the Co-op shall use a single allocation unit except to the extent that, subsequent to the adoption of these bylaws, it shall engage in any new and distinct line of business.
Section 8.2 – Exceptions. Net savings may be reduced by such reasonable reserves for necessary business purposes as is determined by the Board. Any allocations of such a nominal amount as not to justify the expenses of distribution may, as determined by the Board, be excluded from distribution provided that they are not then or later distributed to other owners. Owners shall retain the right to waive in whole or in part, by action at a meeting of owners, any patronage refunds to which they may be entitled.
Section 8.3 – Consent of owners. By obtaining or retaining ownership in the Co-op, each owner shall thereby consent to take into account, in the manner and to the extent required by Section 1385 of the Internal Revenue Code, the stated dollar amount of any qualified written notice of allocation in the taxable year in which such notice is received.
Section 8.4 – Retentions. A portion of patronage refunds may be retained for the reasonable capital needs of the Co-op. Such retentions shall be credited to revolving capital accounts in the names of recipient owners, shall accrue no monetary return on investment, and shall not be transferable. They shall be redeemed when determined by the Board to be no longer needed for capital purposes. At that time they shall be redeemed in the order of the oldest outstanding amounts and on a pro rata basis among such amounts. Retentions may also be redeemed under compelling circumstances as determined by associates.
Section 8.5 – Forfeiture. Any distribution of patronage refunds or any redemption of an equity interest of the Co-op which remains unclaimed four years after the date authorized for payment may be forfeited by action of the Board. Any amount so forfeited shall revert to the Co-op if, at least six months prior to the declared date of forfeiture, notice that the payment is available has been mailed to the last-known address of the person shown by the Co-op's records to be entitled thereto or, if the address is unknown, is published at least once a month for four months in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the registered office of the Co-op is located.
Article IX Interpretation and Amendment of Bylaws
Section 9.1 – Severability. In the event that any provision of these bylaws is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to such extent and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law without affecting the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these bylaws.
Section 9.2 – Amendment. These bylaws may be amended or repealed only by vote of owners, provided that the proposed amendments are stated in the notice of the meeting at which the amendments are to be adopted.
Explanation of Patronage Dividend Consent Provision
The Internal Revenue Code generally requires each person receiving a patronage dividend to include the amount of such distribution in his or her gross income in the taxable year in which it is received. Under bylaw section 8.3, mere acceptance or retention of ownership in the Co-op constitutes consent to such inclusion in taxable income, including the portion of the patronage dividend that is retained by the Co-op for its capital needs. The Co-op has been advised by legal counsel, however, that the general rule for inclusion in income of patronage dividends is subject to an exception that is applicable to consumer cooperatives. Under that exception, a patronage dividend is not required to be included in gross income if the owner's purchases from the Co-op are related to "personal, living or family items." The patronage dividend would be taxable to an owner only if his or her purchases related to the operation of a trade or business or other income-producing activities.

Scalp Advancement / Forehead Reduction
2 nights
3 - 4 hours
General Anesthesia
10 - 14 days
Clients who are concerned about the size or height of their forehead which is not in proportion to their facial features.
During the surgery, the excess forehead and/or scalp is excised and the scalp is advanced to the new hairline. The incisions are made in such a manner (trichophytic) so that hair regrows through and in front of the eventual hairline scar making it undetectable. The scalp has to be detached from the skull going far back almost to the neck.
Additional scalp advancement can be obtained by incising the galea (the deep fibrous inelastic scalp layer) which allows the scalp to stretch. Occasionally the surgeon will use implantable devices or sutures to secure the scalp to the bone at its new forward location. Dr. Boonchai will generally close the wound with 2 layers of sutures or surgical clips
Our team will evaluate your medical history to check for conditions that may delay the surgery or the healing process. Some of the common conditions are:
Please avoid aspirin and brufen-containing medication for two weeks prior to surgery to eliminate the chance of post op bleeding. Generally it is best to continue any blood pressure or blood sugar medications. These may safely be taken with a sip of water on the morning of surgery. Women should ensure negative pregnancy test before surgery.
Protect your health prior to surgery. Even a simple cold could cause complications with the anesthesia. If you do develop an illness right before your surgery, let your surgeon know. On the day of your procedure, do not wear any skin care products, makeup, deodorant, perfume, nail polish or powder.
Following surgery, a soft dressing is placed around the forehead and left in position overnight. The dressing is then replaced with an ace bandage for 7 days after surgery. The bandage reduces swelling and helps protect the area.
Most patients spend one night in the hospital and return to their home or hotel the next day. Pain is commonly mild and well managed with prescription pain medication. Showering and gentle washing of the hair are permissible but must be done with care. It is important to towel dry and comb your hair towards the incision line (so as not to stretch it) and to only use a blow-dryer on the "cool" setting (unheated).
Sutures are removed 6-8 days after surgery. Most patients feel well enough to return to work 7-8 days after surgery; however, if the surgery is combined with multiple procedures then it may be advisable to wait two weeks before returning to work. Strenuous activity (causing sweating or rise in blood pressure) and light exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks. More vigorous exercises like yoga, pilates and running should be avoided for 6 weeks.
Prices include all hospital, operating room, anaesthetists' and doctors' fees, a single private room, standard meals, medications and medical supplies. Generally patients will only pay an additional amount for telephone calls and additional meals extra to the standard hospital supplied meals.

This delicate sipper is first in a infinite line of our sipping Table Spirts, several of which will be release in 2017. Sipping or Table Spirits excite the palate with single natural flavors such as Ginger, Tarragon, or Dill and are meant to be enjoyed slightly chilled, neat, and paired with food.

The pairing possibilities are endless.

The Paul F. Robertson Award for the EMS Breakthrough of the Year was created in 2012 with support from a generous gift by EMS alumnus Paul F. Robertson. Although the award will recognize research achievements over the previous year, qualifying materials (e.g., journal articles, reports, conference presentations) may come from the previous twenty-four months to allow for recognition of the work by the broader scientific community.
In EMS, the Wilson Awards for Excellence in Research and Teaching are given annually to faculty members in the college who have built an identifiable body of outstanding research and teaching over a period of years. Previously there were no awards given for singular research or teaching achievements communicated in one or a small series of articles, reports, or presentations and this award was created for that purpose.
The recipient shall be honored with a recognition memento and a monetary award at the Wilson Awards Banquet held each spring.
Nomination Procedure
Annually in December, the dean will invite one nomination from each department and institute for this award. Qualifying breakthroughs may be in research or in the scholarship of teaching. All EMS fixed-term and tenure-line faculty qualify for this award. Nominations should include:
- An introductory letter consisting of a short summary (150 words or fewer) describing the significance of the work in its field. The letter may be accompanied by up to three reprints and/or documentation that provides evidence of the impact of the work
- Supporting letters from colleagues familiar with the nominee's work
- The nominee's current curriculum vitae
- A professional portrait suitable for the program
The nomination materials may be submitted electronically to Diane Ault (firstname.lastname@example.com) along with four hard copies sent to the Office of the Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research in 248 Deike Building by no later than November 15. Nominations received by the deadline will be reviewed by a committee consisting of the dean and the associate deans in the college.

A film created by the IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics.
Link to the film here. This film profiles women mathematicians from around the world, speaking about their research, the mathematical aspirations of women in their region and how the international mathematics community could support these. Carolina Araujo from Brazil, Neela Nataraj from India and Aminatou Pecha from Cameroon are featured at their home institutions in their respective countries and a group of six women from various latino-american countries will be interviewed at (WM)² in Rio in August, 2018.The film brings together and documents both the successes and barriers for women in mathematics from an international perspective, told in the words of the women themselves. Its first version with be premiered at (WM)² and the final version will be available after the summer.
Filmed and edited by Micro-Documentaries.
Made possible by a grant from the Simons Foundation.
(WM)², the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics July 31, 201, Riocentro convention center, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a satellite event of the ICM 2018 organised and partially funded by CWM.
IMU CWM is leading the project "A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical and Natural Sciences:
How to Measure It, How to Reduce It ?" funded by the International Council for Science (ICSU).
The project website, with a summary, up to date news and information, is here.
Contact : Marie-Francoise Roy email@example.com
The main initial goal set by CWM was to help establish and foster networks of women mathematicians especially in Asia, Latin America and Africa. To this end, it has made two calls offering sponsorship, in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
The multi-country or multi-regional networks which have been fostered or initiated with CWM's help are:
Organisation for women in Latin America is ongoing and it is hoped that the formation of a formal association will be announced at the ICM Rio 2018.
Organisation for women in East Asia is also ongoing.
Associations in individual countries have also been sponsored.
In 2015-16 CWM sponsored events took place in Colombia (Latin America), India, Indonesia (S. and E. Asia), Kazakhstan (Central Asia), Mexico (Latin America), Senegal (West Africa), Tunisia (North Africa), Kenya (Africa) and Brazil (Latin America). See report here.
In 2017, events took place in Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Tunisia, South Africa and Vietnam. See report here.
In 2018, events are taking place in Austria, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, India, Italy (ICTP) Macedonia, Nigeria, Uruguay, Uzbekistan and a booklet project on women role models in Africa is being supported as well as a video Faces of Women in Mathematics. See here.
CWM printers and flyers are available. Here are low resolution versions which you can use for screen display: Poster Flyer
The flyer is two sided and is designed to be folded along vertical lines into three.
If you want to get a few copies to distribute at a mathematical event or for other display purposes, please contact your country's ambassador (see below).
If you want to print them yourself we recommend using the white and black versions here: BW Poster BW Flyer

Hello Guys
I Hope you are all well and pain free.
As I'm sure you are all aware there is a small event about to be held by us on 23rd August and we have been inundated with people and businesses that are helping us at the moment for which we are truly thankful, but one act of generosity shows how much this Foundation actually means to you as well as us.
One of our members here, ex-M.O.D Employee Mrs June Carr has kindly donated £100 to help towards the lavatory costings, as you are aware as well as all of the fun and merriment involved, there is also a lot to be taken into account behind the scenes. such as health an.d safety as well as sanitation
June knew that the costings were mounting, even with the support we have been receiving from all of those involved, and she has selflessly stepped forward to help.
June also suffers with a condition called Cerebella Ataxia which has major effects on her balance and vision, but June isn't even thinking about that, she just simply wants to help us, and wants this Superhero fun day to be the success it deserves to be.With supporters, friends and family like June behind us, I know it will be..
It really warms our hearts when things like this happen and shows how much support we actually have, which just spurs us on to make this foundation the success it deserves to be
Thank you so much June
We love you
from all at your Foundation x
*you can read June's story in our community stories*

I am really guilty of not having photographs of myself. I am a shocker when someone has a camera - I hide behind things, run away or just plain put my hands in front of my face!! I truly hate photos of myself - I am not the most photogenic person in the world, despite the fact that I always have that huge grin on my face!! LOL! So a few weeks ago, when Kirsty took my photo and I looked pretty good (for me), I was over the moon because it meant I could update my avatar to a current photo. So, that got me thinking and I guess there are lots of others out there the same as me - we are the ones behind the camera, so we don't have many photos of ourselves and probably, there are only three or four that we actually like and would show anyone! That's when I figured, why not make a kit that celebrates us as women and helps us to scrap those very few photos that we like to preserve them for the future. So, I obviously had to have pink in the kit - hey, we're girls right? But I put some deep red and green in there too so that it's not too girly, girly! I also put in a little tag that says 'Scrapping Queen' - which we all are so that not only can we scrap ourselves, but we can scrap our hobby at the same time! Before we take a look at the kit called Love Yourself, this is the layout that I did with my new photo:
I'm really happy with the layout and won't mind people seeing it because I love the photo. I really do need to embrace photos of me and start learning to love myself on the outside too! So, this is what 'Love Yourself' looks like and it's only available at Plain Digital Wrapper (my guest store) for a limited time. It's just $3 today, but will be $4.50 tomorrow, so if you want this kit, you should jump on over there now to pick it up :)
And take a look at what my GORGEOUS CT have done with the kit - beautiful hey?
And I have a guest CT this week - you may know her from around scrapland, she has become a dear friend and we have chatted on the phone a couple of times - it feels like we've always known each other - Sylvia. She's in the photo in the layout and it's just beautiful - showing that you don't need the pink in your layout if you're not girly! Thanks Sylvia - your layout is fantastic and the photos are just perfect!
Finally, I have a freebie for you. It's a cluster frame that I made to help you kickstart your layout with the kit if you get it. Download it here and please leave a comment to let me know what you think! TTFN.

Smoking is a difficult addiction for many people to quit. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug that slowly leaves the body, making it hard for people to get over their addiction. Cigarettes are also widely available and socially acceptable, creating withdrawal symptoms, drawing people back into the habit easily. Millions of people make quitting smoking their New Years resolution every year. If you can't quit smoking, try switching to an e-cigarette this New Years.
You've possibly already seen the commercials and heard about e-cig devices. These devices are created in the shape of a cigarette. They electronically heat and prepare a puff of nicotine which you can then inhale. The nicotine passes through your throat and into your lungs, the same way it does as a cigarette but not in a puff of smoke. The electronic cigarette releases harmless steam into the air with each use.
What you may not understand is the health benefits linked to using e-cigarettes. Professor Carl Phillips of the Tobacco Harm Reduction Institute at the University of Alberta, Canada says that there is "absolutely no doubt" that e-cigarettes are "a safer alternative to regular cigarettes." He states that it is around "99 percent less harmful than smoking.
Switching to the e cigarette may therefore be much more healthier for you than regular smoking. But perhaps you've heard arguments that e-cigarettes create harmful side effects or that addiction to this type of nicotine is just as harmful as addiction to nicotine in normal side effects.
Not so, according to Dr. Michael Siegel, a college professor who is strongly anti-tobacco. Dr. Siegal has lobbied for many years to ban smoking in public areas and he has testified against tobacco companies in court. However, he does not agree with anti-smoking advocates that want to take e-cigarettes off the market.
He claims that these people want to take it off the market due to "ideology rather than science" which is a major problem for Dr. Siegal. He claims that anti-smoking advocates are trying to get these off of the market "despite evidence that electronic cigarettes are much safer than conventional cigarettes."
The major health risks associated with smoking is due to the inhalation of smoke. The smoke from cigarettes and tobacco is laced with carcinogens and debris that is harmful to the throat and lungs. E-cigarettes don't operate on smoke but on steam, eliminating the harmful smoke and carcinogenic and debris threat.
"Electronic cigarettes are the greatest and safest alternative to tobacco smoking."
